Big Bazaar to rent occasion wear; to sell used clothes too

In an initiative to redefine used cloth business and renting occasion wear in the country, Kishore Biyani-led Future Group is exploring a new concept to roll out the formula in organised retail arena through Big Bazaar stores.

Customers who will shop for Rs 2,000 or more will get gift vouchers worth Rs 1,000

Sources close to the development said that the Group is exploring the concept. However, nothing has been decided yet.

With this initiative, the Group will allow people to borrow expensive clothes for special occasions like marriages, festivals and parties on rent, thereby saving a considerable amount on making them just for an occasion or two.
